in Munich, Germany. The truck is now shuttling through BMW's Munich plant eight
times a day to deliver parts such as shock absorbers, springs and steering
components, the report said.

The electric truck has a cruising range of 62 miles, which is enough for a
full day's work. Despite its size, the car only takes three to four hours to
recharge. BMW claims to be the first car company to have such a heavy lift after
the electric truck was launched.

PTO/ POWER TAKE OFF

electric truck and a large electric bus in 2017. Elon? "The introduction of
electric trucks and electric buses is a necessity for tesla," musk said. Tesla's
electric truck, to be named Tesla Semi, will significantly reduce the cost of
transporting goods while improving safety and fun to drive.

In addition, tesla plans to continue to develop the hardware and software
needed for fully autonomous driving. Musk said the time it takes to perfect the
software far outstrips the time it takes to implement the cameras, radars, sonar
and other hardware, and that even with a highly developed software, it's still a
long way from being allowed on the road. With the continuous development of pure
electric wave, it is very important to make early stage strategic layout to
seize more market segments in the future.

dare to do, but China's implementation of electric trucks is imperative!
